Is Green A Color
Is green a color?
Patty, the Mrs., captured this with her iPhone and posted it with a disclaimer about both eyes are actually the same color, but he is in a window, with one eye subject to ‘daylight’ and the other to ‘incandescent’ light.
Though never official educated in photography, or any visual arts, she DOES have a good eye as is evident in her photos here on FB, should you care to look them up. (Patty Arnold - musician)
In our conversation, she kept referring to ‘the green’ one. I kept referring to the ‘cool’ one.
In photo and light classes, sunlight was generally ‘cool’, but BLUE, whereas lamps were ‘warm’ and orange.
What is green? I would venture it to be ‘cool’, but never really though of ‘daylight’ as ‘green’. Fuji film had a green tint, whereas Kodachrome was ‘warm’ - orange/red, and Ektachrome was ‘blue-ish’.
Red with rage. Blue is, well, BLUE - sad, melancholy. Yellow is gay - as in happy. Orange is warm. Green is envy!?!?!?!?! Who wants to evoke jealously in their artwork?
It is sort of a by-product.
Green is like darkness or cold. It is the absence of light or heat. Or red. Or life.
One does not ‘add green’, they either add or subtract yellow or blue.
So, is ‘green’ a ‘color’, or simple a tint or hue?
